West Loop lost a lot of free parking this summer, which has us talking about the city's infamous parking meter deal. In 2008, City Council voted to privatize Chicago's parking meters for 75 years in return for $1 billion. But in the years since, analysis after analysis has shown the meters were worth much more, and the city lost out on revenues while investors earn a profit as Chicagoans pay some of the highest parking rates in the country. While he was at the Reader, Block Club Chicago reporter and editor Mick Dumke investigated the deal after it first passed. He tells host Jacoby Cochran why Chicago went for it, who challenged it, and how we feel the effects today.

What are the pros and cons (or downsides) of real estate investing? The pros of real estate investing are pretty well known, the ability to use leverage (debt) to buy properties that generate passive income (cashflow) that also appreciate in value (equity) while giving tax benefits (depreciation). But every investment has its cons, some of real estate's downsides are market volatility, bad tenants, vacancies, maintenance, and legal/regulatory issues. Basically it comes down to tenants, toilets, and termites. Tony Javier's career as a real estate investor was almost derailed by those downsides. Luckily he didn't listen to the naysayers and dove right in, acquiring 10 rental properties in just a few years using the BRRRR method.   ⏰ TIME STAMPS ⏰ 00:00 Tony Javier - Real Estate Investor TV consultant 01:00 Carleton Sheets - Real Estate Infomercial 02:03 BRRRR Method Success 04:57 Dropping out of College 06:30 Toilets & Tenants 07:35 Worst Deal 17:06 TV ads for Real Estate Investors 22:00 Founding 10X TV 25:30 TV ads in big vs midsize markets 29:18 TV vs Direct Mail 32:49 Why 10X TV?

A lot of us get into real estate investing to build more wealth or achieve more financial freedom than a regular job can provide. But even when your real estate income is more than your W2 salary, it's hard to quit your job!   That's what Daniel Kong experienced as his real estate career took off. He was ready to quit his 6-figure Software Developer job, but the safety & stability of the guaranteed paycheck was hard to walk away from. Realize it or not, society pushes us to seek stability over success.   Luckily, Daniel was crushing it using the BRRRR strategy and eventually the math just didn't add up. So his wife told him to quit his job and go all-in on real estate just 3 years after starting.   Now he's moving from fixing & flipping homes into multi-family syndications. He's taking his cashflow to the next level and giving his investors the passive income and tax breaks they're after.   Chapters: 00:00 Daniel Kong's life before REI 02:30 Salary & Stability over Success 05:30 Daniel's 1st Real Estate Deal 08:45 Daniel's WORST Deal 11:16 Advice for Growing Real Estate Investors

At the beginning of the pandemic, we did a lot of reporting on how the internet is everything, and how your access to it — or lack thereof — can shape how you learn, how you work and whether you can get ahead in this economy. But a recent investigation from The Markup, a nonprofit newsroom, suggests we're still pretty far away from equitable access. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams recently spoke with Leon Yin, an investigative data journalist at The Markup and one of the authors of “Dollars to Megabits: You May Be Paying 400 Times as Much as Your Neighbor for Internet Service.”

I'm conscious it's been a while since we released an episode. I'll provide more of an update in an upcoming episode but it's been a little busy for us these past few months.  Victoria gave birth to our daughter Clementine in December, and she's been keeping us busy ever since. She's currently having a nap, so I'm on a strict timeline to get this episode recorded, where I'm sharing all the details of our worst deal last year… in fact probably our worst deal ever - specifically looking at what went wrong, and what we'd do differently if we were able to do this project again. ********* Register for Project Management Mastery - https://insidepropertyinvesting.com/pmm

Talks in Vienna appear to be nearing agreement on a new JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran. Three falsehoods drive this staggeringly ill-conceived negotiation: that the JCPOA was working, that “maximum pressure” failed, and that this is just a return to the old deal, not a new one. What dangers do these falsehoods pose, what flaws does the expected deal include, and what is the better course of action?

On today's episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast, fellow attorney-investor Michael Quarles is giving us a twofer. Normally, we focus on one Best Deal or Worst Deal--but Michael has two Bad Beats to share with us today, and a host of free information about negotiation, investing psychology, and why success is a “requirement” in his life.Tune in to Episode 43 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 43 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowMichael Quarles on the Finer Points of NegotiationScott Smith welcomes Rebecca Walser, who shares about her background, business philosophy and wealth building strategies.[1:00] Michael decides to share two of his worst deals with our listeners. Scott asks Michael to set the stage for the period of time before the deal.[2:00] Michael has been engaging in entrepreneurship since he was a teenager. He shares his general real estate investing strategy, but also describes himself as a “serial entrepreneur.” [3:30] Michael took a student to a presentation, and actually posed as the student to bolster his mentee's credibility. After a lengthy wait in the car, the student emerged from the meeting dejected. Michael had thought everything would go perfectly, and asked what went wrong. The student simply replied “I started talking.”[4:45] Michael shares the lesson his student learned the hard way: “That's the worst thing we can do: not realize when we've said enough. And when we've said enough, stop talking.” That resulted in the loss of the contract.[6:00] Michael points out that any time a seller offers you something, even something as minor as a beer or a glass of water, you should take it. These small offers are actually closing signals. “Consumers give us little hints and triggers that we can see,” he explains. [7:30] Scott wonders whether Michael's point is really about how to listen. Michael clarifies that at this point, he means simply stop talking about real estate. [9:05] Michael shifts towards his thoughts on negotiation: “We can't convince someone to do something they don't wan to do...But through the art of negotiation, we can convince them to set a price that causes us to say yes.” He describes an example.[12:05] Michael gives some surprising advice on negotiation: “If you want to learn how to negotiate, how to communicate: go talk to a 3-year-old.” Michael points out children this age do not know how to lie yet, but have some reasoning abilities.[13:20] Scott asks about situations where execution does not line up with training, such as when they take classes like Michael's. Michael points out that one must be a gifted storyteller to be an effective negotiator, and that practice is vital to any learned information. He and Scott do a brief exercise to illustrate this point. They speak back and forth using only three words, a tactic Michael recommends.[16:00] Michael describes how he always surveys his tenants after the fact. He found she did not get to communicate with him the way she wanted to, which he considers a personal failure.[17:30] Scott and Michael discuss the power of mimicking, a tactic effective with both children and fellow investors.Michael Quarles' on The Beauty of Ugly HousesThe two investors shift focus to the second deal Michael wants to discuss.[18:00] Michael bought a house that was “not quite a duplex” but had an additional small house in the back of the property. There was a double homicide in the house, which worked to Michael's advantage with lenders. But that wasn't the end of the criminal element: the offender who committed the homicides returned to commit an arson in an attempt to destroy the evidence relating to the homicides.[19:00] Michael easily resold the house to another investor who renovated it, got a tenant in, and is still profiting. The lesson he learned from this deal is simple: “Those deals that don't conform are the ones where we make the most money.” He goes on to state he would buy every “ugly” house in his city, given the opportunity.[21:00] Michael's current market is direct tenants and investor-buyers (typically flippers). There is a specific value in the types of houses he purchases--those under the median for the area. Michael encourages investors to look at the properties through the eyes of the consumer.[23:00] Michael points out that ethical, moral, and legal boundaries are critical. He also points out that the order of those is significant, as something can be legal but not ethical.[25:00] Scott points out that acceptance of certain harsh realities can serve the savvy investor. [26:00] Michael describes visiting a house that was outside of his comfort zone. He found a highly motivated seller who was in need of back surgery that made his home uninhabitable during his recovery. He also wanted a relatively low amount of the house. He sold it within ten days.[Tweet "“There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” - Frazer Rice, Episode 40 Real Estate Nerds Podcast"]The Takeaway: Facing Fear and Requiring SuccessMichael and Scott wrap up with their major lessons learned from Michael's experience.[28:42] Scott points out a major learning lesson from Michael's story. He finds that we must practice habits of success regardless of outcome. Michael counters that even a failure is a type of success, and necessary.[30:00] Michael asks about the cost of law school, and legal education generally. 3.5 years and $150,00 is the figure they settle on. He points out that many investors spend massive amounts of money to “hit the home run” upon execution. He shares a story of overcoming fear as he forged a professional relationship with a female investor.[32:00] Scott points out that a life of comfort is one that can cause regret about not taking more risks. He puts it bluntly: “Risk always means fear, and overcoming fear.” [32:00][36:00] Michael shares his own take-away. He encourages the audience to treat life like a requirement.

What is a real estate investor supposed to do when their first apartment complex purchase turns out to be rife with drug dealers, prostitutes, and other problematic tenants? Today's guest had to figure that out for himself, and did so quickly. On today's episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast, Bill Manassero joins our host and real estate attorney Scott Smith to tell us about both a best and worst deal, one of our only hybrid Bad Beats/Best Deals episodes. Tune in to hear how Bill kept his first apartment complex purchase from becoming a total bad beat through creative problem solving, strong networking, and clever solutions like connections with the local community and even leveraging Airbnb. This is one you'll have to just listen to to really believe. Listen To Episode 23 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowBill Manassero's Apartment Complex Rollercoaster Deal: Bright BeginningsBill joins Scott and shares a bit about his background and the circumstances that led up to his Best Deal. [1:00] Bill started his real estate career later in life. He began considering this option while he was ending the end of a 12-year stint as a missionary in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He was at a turning point, but not quite ready to retire. He began eyeballing and studying emerging markets, then initially purchased a set of duplexes and single family homes in these markets.[2:10] Bill quickly learned a lesson: “I paid about the same for the duplexes as I did for single family homes, but everything was sort of better.” Vacancies were never 100%, taxes were cheaper, and he was able to collect double the rent. This made it clear multi-units were best for him. So he began checking out apartment complexes in the three markets he was already in: Memphis, Atlanta, and Indianapolis. Because this ambition was huge, he continued educating himself about this new-to-him asset class.[3:30] Bill experienced some initial “analysis paralysis” when working the figures for his potential new investments: “The numbers definitely are different for multi-units.” But he pressed on, eventually finding a 22-unit property in Indianapolis in an emerging part of the city, sandwiched between trending and developing parts of town. By the time he got the courage to make an offer, someone else had bought the property. Bill learned the value of moving quickly in a hot market.[5:00] Bill decided to take one last shot, and let the broker know he was still interested if anything happened to cause the deal to fall through. 3 months later, Bill learned the deal did fall through. The deal falling through actually put Bill in a better position to ask for lower than asking price, and now the seller was more motivated to get the property off his hands. Bill completed his due diligence, and when the inspector came through Bill was able to save even more. He ended up buying the property at 25% below asking price, and way below the market value.[7:00] While this was Bill's first apartment complex deal, he shares with Scott how his experience with the financing end of real estate helped him negotiate the funding dilemma around the property.[8:30] When Scott asks how Bill handled the jump from single- and multi-family to complexes psychologically. Bill was anxious but soon learned that “It wasn't all that different on doing a transaction on a single family or a duplex.” Bill now believes dragging his feet actually hurt him.[9:45] Bill points out the first big thing he did right with this deal: “A lot of us when we're after a property and it goes under contract, we immediately go away. But going back to the broker and saying “I'm still interested, don't forget me” got me that winning call.”[10:00] Bill was thrilled with the beginnings of the deal, but not everything about this property was a win. He was unprepared for the surprises that came up with this property. He was looking for ways to boost the rent and cut expenses, and discovered that he was paying for heating and would have had to pay high costs to replace its boilers. He ended up having to replace all the gas-powered appliances with electric, and transfer the costs to the tenants (who paid their own electric bills). He describes the rehab measures and other improvements he took to increase rent values 16-20% increase per unit over time.[bctt tweet="“I paid about the same for the duplexes as I did for single family homes, but everything was sort of better.”." username="Royal_Legal_Law"]The Challenges of a C-Class Complex & Bill's Creative Solutions The two investors discuss Bill's many challenges around the property in more depth. Whether it was the police activity, property management complication, or tenants selling drugs, something seemed to always pop up with this property. But Bill didn't give up. He tells Scott about the broad range of clever strategies he used to address these many issues successfully.[13:30] Another early challenge Bill faced was handling property management: “A 22-unit doesn't really warrant an on-site property manager. I had a property manager in place, but they weren't able to be there all the time.” So, there wasn't always someone there to handle issues as they came up.[14:00] Bill tells a hilarious anecdote about the police running a sting operation out of his apartment, which he now knows was an enormous red flags. But he did make some great contacts with the police department, and even offered to let them use the place again--if only to have their cars in his parking lot![15:00] Bill also describes the challenges with his occupants: “We had some real tough tenants. Some guys we thought were dealing, others we thought were pimps.” Scott asks why Bill bothered trying to bring up such a rough area. Bill decided to invest time and money into this because of the value and demographics of the surrounding areas, which were blue collar workers and millennial students/young professionals.[16:20] The owner before Bill was indiscriminate with tenants: “He just kind of let anybody in. They were allowing folks in that weren't screened very well.” Bill's response was creative: “We had to move into a mode I call Stealth tenant marketing. We started targeting major employers in the area and going to their HR departments. We gave them flyers offering any of their employees who signed up for our apartments a month free and other incentives to get good working folks into the building.” [16:44] This move paid off for Bill, and helped turn the complex around and changing its dynamics. But he still had to check out questionable tenants, and immediately evict the sketchier tenants if they were late on the rent. That was easier to do than proving illegal activity.[18:00] Bill shares how property management's goals didn't align with his own, and how he responded: “I had to really monitor property management closely. They were concerned with getting people in to have a high vacancy rate. I was concerned with getting in the right people.” While Bill had no advisors, he borrowed some of these creative moves from the mentors he'd had over the years.[19:21] Bill describes some of his other clever solutions for improving his complex, including using closed circuit TVs. He also addressed the security concerns of this C building in a smart way: “I brought in a house mom, a tenant who pays lower rent in exchange for the job of monitoring what's going on, keeping things in line, and reporting tenants who aren't doing things right.” These measures increased the quality and security of the complex.[20:29] Bill sums up the strategy he employed succinctly: “It's all management. It's all about having strong management, strong criteria for tenants, and not just getting bodies in there but getting the right bodies in there.”[21:10] Bill offers some tips to any investors for handling property managers of any type: “You need to document and almost put a manual together for each property manager based on the needs of the property and the area. And if they can't do it, you've got to move on.” He also emphasizes strong communication: “As an out-of-state investor, the property manager is your number one key to success or failure. If you don't handle them right and get the right people in you're doomed for failure.” [21:35][22:30] Bill believes management is so important because despite all of his research and legwork, he didn't see the problems. Scott ribs him a little for his naivete: “Sweet innocent Bill...Didn't even see the prostitutes!” Bill shares how he managed to add capital as well by converting three units into Airbnb units. In addition to being more profitable, Airbnb tenants would report to Bill when tenants attempted to proposition them or sell them drugs, because they weren't afraid like the local tenants.

Time magazine called Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster a “pre-eminent warrior-thinker.” President Trump called him a pain. So when McMaster left the White House to be replaced by the hawkish John Bolton, foreign policy experts saw the writing on the wall. The Iran nuclear deal was next on the chopping block. In this episode, we track how advisors clashed right up to the moment Trump yanked the United States out of the deal. Some wanted to push for a better deal. Others seemed intent on pressuring Iran until it breaks. Was Trump right to walk away? Or, was there something else -- something more political -- motivating the president’s decision?

JOIN PETER at the New Orleans Investment Conference https://neworleansconference.com/conference-schedule/ NAFTA was the Worst Deal in World History? I want to talk about Donald Trump's new trade deal. When Donald Trump was running for President, he said that NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement) was the worst trade deal ever negotiated ever by anyone in world history. It wasn't just the worst trade deal that America got into, it was the worst trade deal that anybody ever got into. I don't know how many trade deals Donald Trump actually studied, and whether he compared them to NAFTA to know that NAFTA was worse than any other deal that had ever been negotiated, but that was his claim. In fact, even in the ceremony where he took credit for the new deal that he negotiated he repeated that NAFTA was the worst deal ever negotiated. We Went from a Good Name to a Lousy Name Then he unveiled his deal, which he now calls the greatest deal ever negotiated.  So we went from the worst deal in the history of deals to the best deal in the history of deals. The problem is, it is basically the same deal! The only thing that has really changed is the name. We went from a good name to a lousy name, and the funny thing about it is Donald Trump is claiming that the name is better. The old name was NAFTA. The new name is USMCA. Us-ma-ca! Us-ma-ca? What kind of name is that? We basically went from a nice name to a ridiculous name. NAFTA Re-Branded with a Worse Name But the bottom line is that's probably the most substantive difference between the two deals.  Pretty much, it is the same deal. Yet this is the greatest deal in history and the old deal was the worst deal ever. This is standard operating procedure for Donald Trump. Everything is great now that he is President. Donald Trump pretended everything was awful before he was elected, and now, he's made everything fantastic, but he hasn't done anything. You listen to Fox News, they're talking about this thing like it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is NAFTA re-branded with a worse name.

Pastor Chris Andrews (Admin & Connections Pastor) - Genesis 17:1-8; 25:21-34; Hebrews 12:16; Matthew 6:33; 13:44-46; 22:37-38; Philippians 3:8; Ephesians 1:3; 1 Corinthians 1:4-5; Romans 6:12; 13:14; Galatians 5:16-24

Looking at the last few days and the week ahead in important business stories, the team looks at Trump’s decision not to recertify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and what it means for companies hoping to do deals with Iran. We also look at what Trump’s stance on the deal means for global oil. Can Trump afford to be drawn in to costly international spats as he tries to focus his time and efforts on his domestic agenda? Moving on, we then discuss the start to the earnings season, including Netflix, which releases its third quarter earnings on October 16.
